Haha I swear I read something on here the other day about how trends are circular and it won't be long until del.icio.us is back, and here we are!
I seem to recall del.icio.us being a great discovery tool, as well as a great way to catalog your bookmarks (another discovery tool that was great for a while was Stumbleupon). Will be interesting to see if anyone can bring back some of that "old school" curated/personal discovery vibe, which feels like it's becoming more relevant again with the recent discussion around Google results.
- Kunix 6y agoI loved StumbleUpon, and I find myself missing a discovery tool like that one. Reddit and other websites give me the impression of running in loop. If anyone has good discovery tools to recommend!
- ergest 6y agoI second this! Algorithmic discovery tools solve for sameness whereas StumbleUpon solved for variety. It was a wonderful tool for breaking out of thought bubbles.
- Sodman 6y agoAs a college student outside of the US who had never heard of YCombinator, StumbleUpon was how I discovered HN. Now I work at startups and can't imagine going back to a bigger company. Strange to think that in a world where StumbleUpon didn't exist, I may still be working at BigCorp.
